Raising A Society of Fascists

[PoliticalChic]

Should Liberalsism/Progressivism continue in the ascendancy, American will be fascist, as it was when Progressive Woodrow Wilson was President.


Hyperbole?

Only to a slight degree....'fascism' in America looks different than the long black coated Gestapo of Nazi Germany because it has been altered by the history of America.


" The excesses of the European versions of fascism were mitigated [in America] by the specific history and culture of America, Jeffersonian individualism, heterogeneity of the population, but the central theme is still an all-encompassing state that centralizes power to perfect human nature by controlling every aspect of life., albeit at the loss of what had hitherfore been accepted as ‘inalienable human rights.’

[The loss of liberty....as in free speech.]

The dichotomy that is today’s political reality is based on this retreat, as the American left simply flipped from the brown-shirt utopians to the red-flag utopians, parroting Stalin’s rhetoric: anything objectionable is fascist."
"Liberal Fascism," Goldberg




Say anything out of sync with the milieu and the fascists of today call it 'fascistic' and claim the right to silence it.


For a limited, but salient, definition of 'fascist,' let's focus on the shutting down and punishing those who say things one doesn't agree with. In America today, fascism is known as 'political correctness',,,,and it is not merely a suggestion.
So saith the Liberals/Progressives/Democrats.





Seems the recent Oklahoma State kerfuffle had drawn a clear line between those who honor the Constitution, specifically the first amendment, and those who honor 'political correctness,' the contemporary fascists.



1. "....University of Oklahoma President David Boren chose to expel two students for singing a vile, racist ditty at a fraternity event. There is nothing funny about lyrics that make light of lynching and chant a racial slur.


2. .... Boren was wrong to act as he did. As UCLA law Professor Eugene Volokh wrote, “racist speech is constitutionally protected, just as is expression of other contemptible ideas; and universities may not discipline students based on their speech.” Courts have consistently ruled to that effect.
A free country doesn’t want the government to educate only people with approved viewpoints..... Boren’s move appears to be wildly popular in academia.'"


a. "Boren wrote to the two frat boys that he was expelling them because of their “leadership role in leading a racist and exclusionary chant which has created a hostile educational environment for others.”

So the latest amendment to the 'living Constitution' of the LIberals is 'never offend.'

Not every aspect of fascism is bad, P.C. Some of them are actually quite beneficial to society as a whole.

Forgive me, P.C., I should've been clearer. A fascist approach to silencing attacks from fifth columnists against a nation's traditions and heritage in an ethnically homogenous nation - like Nazi Germany - should be encouraged. I mean, if such measures were taken in today's America and Europe, episodes like that on the bus in Oklahoma would be regarded as protesting against a threat to the nation's wellbeing.

I have to disagree....strongly.


No speech should be punished by an establishment.

“First they came ....” is a famous statement and provocative poem written by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis' rise to power and the subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
First they came ... - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia



If you don't like what someone says....speak up about it, with a cogent argument against same.

I do it daily.


And the folks who don't like what I say....more power to 'em.

If only you were literate, you wouldn't have to put up pictures attached to quotes to which they have no relationship.

If only.


Assuming, contrary to popular opinion, that you are educable.......
meditate on this:

Waldo Frank’s analysis in 1934:
'The NRA is the beginning of American Fascism. But unlikeItaly and Germany, democratic parliamentarianism has for generations been strong in the Anglo-Saxon world; it is a tribal institution. Therefore, a Fascism that disposes of it, rather than
sharpens and exploits it, is not to be expected in North Americaor Britain.
Fascism may be so gradual in the United States that most voters will not be aware of its existence. The true Fascist leaders will not be present imitators of German Fuhrer and Italian condottieri, prancing in silver shirts. They will be judicious, black-frocked gentlemen; graduates of the best universities; disciples of Nicholas Murray Butler and Walter Lippmann.

Fascist "as it was"? You mean "as it is".

Red, White and Blue flags and standing for the National Anthem at a Sporting Event don't make this country free.

 

[PoliticalChic]

"Boren wrote to the two frat boys that he was expelling them because of their “leadership role in leading a racist and exclusionary chant which has created a hostile educational environment for others.”

See what I mean about 'Raising A Society of Fascists'?

Expel them for offensive speech rather than debate, and berate 'em???
Fascism.




3. "In recent years, student activists have used “hostile environment” claims to try to muzzle those whose unwelcome viewpoints might “trigger” feelings that make students feel less safe.
(For example, a UC Santa Barbara professor told police that antiabortion activists “triggered” a negative reaction in her that caused her to commit battery against a teenage abortion opponent..)."



4. Let there be a thorough investigation. If it finds the frat house discriminated against African Americans, throw the book at it. In this case, however, Boren shuttered SAE and expelled Parker Rice, 19, and Levi Pettit, 20, without so much as a hearing. First the punishment, then the trial.



5. It is not as if the two young men won’t pay. Pettit’s parents were so appalled they released a statement that said, “He is a good boy, but what we saw in those videos is disgusting.” After the video went viral, it would be hard to look African American students in the eye. “You have no right to be free from the social consequences” of racist speech, ...."

Here's the choice:
Either honor the Constitution, specifically the first amendment, or honor 'political correctness,' the contemporary fascism.

Make up your mind.

All fascists are totalitarians.

1. Totalitarians of every variety hate checks and balances, and separation of powers,in fact, they hate any restriction on their absolute power.


a. Definition of TOTALITARIANISM.

1 :centralized control by an autocratic authority.

de jure and/or de facto

2 : the political concept that thecitizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority. Totalitarianism - Definition and More from the Free Merriam ...www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/totalitarianism


To one degee or another, every one of these philosophies fits that definition: communist, socialist, Nazi, Progressive, Modern Liberal, Democrat.

"....that waterboarding is not torture,..."

Of course, it isn't.


But due to the unfavorable response to water-boarding, you’ll be pleased to learn that interrogations will no longer use water…and, instead, will be done with Neo Synephrine, so that one side gains valuable information, and the other, a clear sinus as well as fast relief from nasal congestion.
Call it a win-win.
